Ingredients

  • 50g butter, softened
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 John Dory fillets (about 180g each)
  • salt, to season
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Method

  1. Combine the butter and paprika and set aside.
  2. Heat a large frying pan until very hot and add the olive oil.
  3. Season the fish well with salt and add the fillets to the pan, skin side down, pressing firmly with a fish press or the back of a spatula for a minute or so to stop the fillet curling.
  4. Cook for about 2 minutes, then flip and add the paprika butter to the pan, basting the fish with it as it melts. Cook for a further 2 minutes until the fish is just cooked and the butter foamy. Remove from the pan and serve immediately with wedges of lemon.
  5. Serve with some steamed samphire grass and enjoy!
